I meant crappy for the end user, why go to this site, if you can go to eBay directly. Or better yet go to Craigslist which has a ton more <$1K vehicles than eBay.
And yeah they may have 500K uniques due to this promotion...but how many of them will come back?
The PR campaign may have been a success, but the site/business as a whole does not seem destined for success–if in fact it's goal is to be a going concern.
They may have generated some affiliate revenue, but now what? Are they going to keep doing cross-country road trips? I'd imagine that very few visitors will refer this site to a friend/family member for the exact reason vaskel stated.

not every website on the internets is created to shake things up and change the world...
this website serves a single purpose: get people to click onto the ebay auction and get an ebay affiliate cookie placed on their computer.
it succeeds.
Sorry, but I agree with vaskel.
